[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, when the ratchet is driven to rotate, the pressing block is pressed, and the gas in the pressing groove enters the sleeve through the airway, thereby moving the extension rod, and then driving the ratchet to rotate. The pressing block is set on the hand wheel. When the operator opens the fire water valve, he holds the hand wheel and presses the pressing block into the pressing groove to open the fire water valve. The driving component has a simple structure and is easy to operate.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution and setting the annular groove on the mounting ring, during the rotation of the valve stem, the pressing groove can be connected to the annular groove through the airway and then connected to the sleeve, making the device structure simpler.

[0014] Optionally, the pressing groove is opened on the lower side of the hand wheel.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, other people can be prevented from pressing the pressing block by mistake.

[0016] Optionally, a plurality of pressing blocks are arranged along the circumference of the hand wheel.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, when it is necessary to open the fire water valve, it is convenient for the operator to press the pressing block at multiple positions.

[0031] The following is combined with Figure 1-4 This application is described in further detail.

[0032] The application discloses a fire water valve self-locking structure.

[0033] Embodiment 1;

[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A fire water valve self-locking structure includes a self-locking component for being arranged on the fire water valve, the self-locking component is used to limit the opening of the fire water valve, the fire water valve adopts a ball valve, the fire water valve includes a valve seat 1 and a valve stem 2, the valve stem 2 can rotate relative to the valve seat 1 to control the opening and closing of the fire water valve, and a hand wheel 3 is installed on the upper end of the valve stem 2.

[0035] The self-locking component includes a ratchet 6 and a pawl 7. The ratchet 6 is coaxially fixedly connected to the valve stem 2. A mounting ring 5 is fixedly connected to the valve seat 1. The mounting ring 5 is sleeved on the valve stem 2. A fixing frame 9 is fixedly connected to the mounting ring 5. The pawl 7 is rotatably connected to the fixing frame 9. The rotation axis of the pawl 7 is arranged in the vertical direction. A torsion spring 8 is sleeved and fixedly connected to the fixing frame 9. The torsion spring 8 and the pawl 7 are fixedly connected. When the pawl 7 is stuck in the tooth groove of the ratchet 6, the torsion spring 8 does not deform.

[0036] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 , a driving member for driving the pawl 7 to rotate is provided on the mounting ring 5, and the driving member includes a plurality of pressing blocks 17, and the plurality of pressing blocks 17 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the hand wheel 3. In the present embodiment, four pressing blocks 17 are provided, and a pressing groove 18 for vertically inserting the pressing block 17 is provided on the lower surface of the hand wheel 3. A spring 19 is fixedly connected in the pressing groove 18, and the spring 19 is fixedly connected to the pressing block 17. The length direction of the spring 19 is arranged in the vertical direction. When the spring 19 is not deformed, the pressing block 17 is partially located outside the pressing groove 18;

[0037] A plurality of connecting rods 4 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the hand wheel 3. The number of the connecting rods 4 is consistent with the number of the pressing blocks 17 and corresponds one to one. The connecting rods 4 are fixedly connected to the valve stem 2. An air passage 10 is provided in the connecting rod 4 and the valve stem 2. The air passage 10 is connected to the pressing groove 18. An annular groove 11 is provided on the mounting ring 5. The annular groove 11 is connected to the air passage 10.

[0038] A telescopic rod is hinged on the fixed frame 9, and the telescopic rod includes a sleeve 13 and an extension rod 14. One end of the sleeve 13 is hinged on the fixed frame 9, and the other end of the sleeve 13 is sleeved with the extension rod 14. One end of the extension rod 14 extending out of the sleeve 13 is hinged to the pawl 7, and the annular groove 11 is connected to the sleeve 13 through the air pipe 12. A piston plate 20 is provided in the sleeve 13, and the piston plate 20 can move along the length direction of the sleeve 13.

[0039] In this embodiment, the lower surface of the pressing block 17 is configured as an arc-shaped convex surface.

[0040] The implementation principle of Example 1 of a fire water valve self-locking structure disclosed in the present application is: when the fire water valve is closed, the hand wheel 3 cannot be rotated because the pawl 7 is stuck in the tooth groove of the ratchet 6. At this time, due to the setting of the pressing block 17, it is difficult for other personnel to accidentally turn the hand wheel 3, causing the fire water valve to open, thereby avoiding waste of water resources. When the hand wheel 3 needs to be turned, the pressing block 17 is pressed to push the gas in the pressing groove 18 into the sleeve 13 through the airway 10 and the gas, so that the extension rod 14 slides, thereby driving the pawl 7 to rotate. After the pawl 7 is disengaged from the tooth groove of the ratchet 6, the hand wheel 3 can rotate normally.

[0041] Embodiment 2;

[0042] Reference Figure 4 The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the driving member includes a pull rope 15, one end of the pull rope 15 is fixed on the pawl 7, and the other end of the pull rope 15 is fixedly connected to a pull ring 16.

[0043] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
